[QUOTE="talien, post: 4122140, member: 3285"] [b]Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays: Part 7a – A Body to Die For[/b] Caprice offered Guppy his interlaced hands as a step up. “Through the window on three. Ready?” Guppy looked at him uncertainly. Then, placing one foot on Caprice’s hand, he hoisted himself on. “One.” Guppy shattered the glass with his pistol. “Two.” “Three!” Guppy dove through the window and rolled, slamming into the door of the office on the other side. Archive opened the door from the other side of the hallway. “There’s a front door you know.” “I knew that!” shouted Guppy, dusting himself off. “She’s not in the car,” said Caprice, who had also gone through the front entrance after catapulting Guppy through the window. “So she’s in here somewhere.” “Where?” asked Guppy. Blade pointed past them. “In there.” Swinging double doors led to a warehouse with wall-to-wall mannequins. Blonde, shapely females in all sorts of revealing clothing were everywhere. “Great,” said Caprice. He had his pistol out. “Stay low, move slowly.” They crept towards the entryway. There was the sound of something large being fired. FOONT! “Down!” shouted Blade. They ducked backwards as an explosion rocked the warehouse, knocking mannequins everywhere. “Mother trucker!” shouted Guppy. “What was that, a rocket launcher?” “Close,” said Caprice. They dusted themselves off. The caught a glimpse of a shapely woman in striped red and white stockings climbing a metal ladder in red heels. “I think she’s on the roof.” They made their way through the pile of ruined mannequin limbs to the ladder. Caprice went first. He peeked his head out over the metal rim of the trap door to the roof. Automatic gunfire raked the entryway. “Yep,” said Caprice. “She’s on the roof.” The bullets kept coming. Caprice kept his head down until he heard clicking. “She’s out of ammo. Now!” He hopped up, firing. Guppy fired his hand-laser. The shot went wide, striking the huge NEPTUNE MANNEQUINS sign that faced the street behind her. “They gave you a hand laser?” asked Caprice. “Yes?” asked Guppy. “Doesn’t everybody have one?” Archive fired a few shots over the edge of the ladder but stayed in relative safety. They caught sight of the thing’s latest vessel. It was a blonde in a stripper outfit. She looked like a waitress at one of the old fifties drive-in movie theaters. The stripper dropped the AK-47 in her hands and reached for a large grenade launcher. “Get back!” shouted Blade. They dove down the entryway again as a grenade exploded around them. The roof partially collapsed, knocking them down the ladder. Fortunately, a soft pile of mannequins was at the bottom. There was a creaking sound as the support struts holding up the Neptune sign gave out. The sign teetered and then collapsed backwards, landing on the roof and blasting air outwards. Guppy struggled up from the pile of mannequin limbs to catch a glimpse of something red and white streak by the window. “Good news!” shouted Guppy. “She’s not on the roof anymore!” [/QUOTE]
